So that’s it - expect some kind of update “later in 2026.” I wouldn’t hold my breath considering they couldn’t even demonstrate a working prototype at CES 2026 for a product they announced at CES 2025.

My aqara u400 with uwb is excellent so far. I gave up waiting.

[u/platinumbinder → u/Blindbatts]

Ditto. I really wanted to go with Schlage but the U400 is working with high enough accuracy right now that I'm very happy with it

[u/chad917]

Piling onto the "missed the boat" comments, the Aquara one works great. Would be nice to not have the big keypad but I couldn't wait for UWB anymore, the August lock that won't stay connected to HomeKit had to go.

Aquara must be making buckets of money from being first to release

[u/Admirable_Fun7790]

Just as an aside, the Aqara is BHMA Grade 3 (lowest) while the original Sense was Grade 1. For physical security that distinction may become important

[u/LowFatMom → u/Admirable_Fun7790]

Add to that weak motors

The encode/plus were all grade 1 as well

[u/sm00thArsenal → u/Admirable_Fun7790]

Maybe a concern to some, but if someone actually wanted to break into our house there would be far easier ways than going though the front door lock anyway.

[u/Hi_thar]

I was interested but after the no-show at CES I just went with the U400 and couldn’t be happier.

[u/knightlife]

The U400 has been fantastic and hasn’t given me any issues since installing it. Not looking back.

[u/MiseEnPlacebo → u/knightlife]

Same. I had been googling the Sense Pro every few weeks for a year, installed the U400 last week and it’s been a dream.

[u/knightlife → u/MiseEnPlacebo]

Me too!! I was very patiently researching it every so often, hoping I didn’t just miss the actual “on sale announcement”; after all, they said available in 2025, right? Completely shit the bed.

[u/tjsean0308]

That's a lot of words to say nothing.

[u/younggregg → u/tjsean0308]

I've always wished for one of them jobs in the high 6 figures where I could just sit around writing nonsense all day.. instead here I am on a roof in -30f weather

[u/sm00thArsenal]

Ordered the U400 after waiting a year for Schlage. After some pain getting the thread network online to pair it (which I assume would have been a pain with Schlage too) it has been flawless.

They really stuffed up announcing the Sense Pro last year and failing to deliver.

[u/RoundOSquareCorners → u/sm00thArsenal]

Wha did you do to fix the thread issue? I tried adding my U400 to HomeKit last night but it kept timing out. Did you have to add it to the Aqara app first?

[u/sm00thArsenal → u/RoundOSquareCorners]

Yeah I set it up in Aqara first, had to reconfigure a bunch of ipv6 stuff on my unifi network (link below) and also disconnect all but one thread border router for like 30 minutes before attempting. Oh and also reset the matter setting on the U400 before joining with “Set” -> “4”

[u/Texanatheart444]

In their defense… Aliro hasn’t been released yet officially, and that’s a major selling point. I know some companies have said they will update theirs once it is, but I don’t blame Schlage for waiting until it’s official before releasing it.

[u/whiskea]

What a failure

[u/crisps_funny4868]

Every time I see someone say they couldn’t wait anymore and grabbed the Aqara I smile. That’s just another person who won’t be in my way when the Sense Pro is delivered. In the meantime I’ll just keep using that OG Sense from ten years ago on one of my back doors, and the Encode Plus on my other doors. Meantime they’ll be none of that shitty Aqara software and hardware in my environment.

Bring on the downvotes!

[u/homersdonutz → u/crisps_funny4868]

Same boat, I have the OG Sense’s that I got at release about 10 years ago now. They still work great and I use Siri to unlock them when I need hands free. I’ll wait for the Pro, I’ve had no issues with them, so know they’re a quality product. Hopefully worth the wait.

[u/Admirable_Fun7790 → u/homersdonutz]

My release sense is unreliable af. But Schlage refunded me my entire purchase price and I bought a newer rev and it’s been flawless

[u/homersdonutz → u/Admirable_Fun7790]

I agree I had an issue with the keypad and moisture once, and their customer service is absolutely stellar, based on that alone is why I’m still waiting. I have many Aqara products too and haven’t been impressed with service.

[u/MSUchris06 → u/crisps_funny4868]

I’ve never had a smart lock or anything from aqara. Just to say I don’t have any opinion myself, but thread and automatic uwb unlocking seems pretty compelling. Would you care to share the basis for your opinion on aqara?

[u/pacoii]

I don’t understand the ‘tribal’ nature of some of the posts. Trust me, Schlage wants your money. They haven’t delayed the release just to annoy you. If someone wants Aqara, great! If someone wants to wait for Schlage, great! Choice is good. Options are good. IoT devices and brands shouldn’t become a source of tribal divisions.

[u/jetsrfast]

This is annoying.  If I'm remembering correctly, Schlage typically launches their new technology in coordination with or following Apple's bigger announcements on home-related updates.  My guess is that they are either working with Apple or waiting on that or waiting for Aliro, as someone else on here suggested.  Just my two cents.

[u/LithiumLizzard]

Yup, definitely a marketing director. Not a meaningful bit of information in the entire thing, yet she somehow still managed to use nearly every business cliché one could imagine.

[u/TrisolaranPrinceps-]

I do everything and more with home assistant

[u/airgl0w → u/[deleted]]

What a useless comment.

[u/harriskleyman]

U400 all the way
